Battle.net Client

Can't get it working

I just got in to the Hearthstone beta today (finally!) and I'm trying to get the Battle.net Desktop App working. It's required for Hearthstone.

The problem is, it crashes a few seconds after logging in. I've looked it up on the WineAppDB and there is a patch for it and a patch for another bug I haven't gotten to yet. Now I have no clue how to apply a Wine patch, much less to Wine with PoL.

If anyone can help me out, or if you have it running, tell me how you got it to there, it would be much appreciated.

I have the multiarch libraries. I installed fulldxsetup, dotnet3.0, and vcrun2008, though I don't know if I need the last two, I know I'll need directx for the games. I was running XP. Didn't think to change it. I tried wine 1.7.5, .4, .3, .2, .1, 1.7, 1.6r5, 1.5.20, and 1.4.1, all giving me the same crash, though 1.4.1 crashed for a couple other reasons too.

I saw that about the dbghelp too, but when I went to configure Wine in PoL, I couldn't find that library on the list. There was a dbgsomething or other but it wasn't that.

By the way, you don't need the Battle.net client to run Diablo 3, unless they changed it from when it came out. I don't think WoW needs it either.

I've been looking at compiling and patching Wine, and man, for a 64bit system it's a giant pain in the ass. 32 bit is simple. Change the code you need changed, compile, make and on. For 64 bit I've been following this: http://wiki.winehq.org/BuildingBiarchWineOnUbuntu

But I'm stuck at the point where I open the container and install the wine prereqs, it tells me I need to add sources to the source.list. It must be going off its own source.list because I have that enabled outside of this container. And I can't open it with gedit, because it says gedit is not a known command.

If I remember correctly there is a command to change the sources without needing the open it in a text editor, but it's late and I don't feel like looking for one right now :P

I know how to add dbghelp, it's just not there. There is dbgeng, no dbghelp.

And yea it's like Steam, just only Blizzard games. You can launch your games from there and keep them up to date.Not sure why only Hearthstone requires it. Though it's probably because it came out after or around the same time as the Battle.net Client and Blizzard of course will want everyone using their client to launch their games.

Thats fine, it was worth a try.Ironcially it worked for Assassins Creed II

I'll give Battlenet a go this weekend and see if I can get anywhere with it.I grow tired of these "client" programs that force us to use so we can play games.They are very annoying because of DRM.crypt32.dll is definitely used for DRM

I just get all my games from Steam unless they're older games like Thief, then I go to GOG.

Both Witcher games I've bought twice. One on CD, one on Steam. I plan to do that with the Witcher 3 too, though only because I plan on getting the collector's edition. And because I like my game library very centralized, thus Steam.

Wow I am a dummy. Seems I don't need the Battle.net Client to run Hearthstone. Guess I didn't look hard enough for the download link and I remember hearing somewhere it required the client. Oh well, I'll test it in the morning.

EDIT: Got the Battle.net Client running. All I had to do was set the dbghelp to disabled. Looks like it works now. There's only one bug I can see and it looks like it doesn't affect anything http://i.imgur.com/7Zt6Qgg.png

Hearthstone works perfectly, though I had to limit pulseaudio to 1 core and max 10% cpu because for some reason it and my computer have a tendency to take audio and video and speed it up to 1.5x or 2x normal and make the audio crackle. But that's not a problem.

Installing Starcraft 2 right now to make sure that works too.

--Works flawlessly on everything maxed out to Ultra/Extreme, though I only jumped into an AI match, online should work fine too.

It actually downloaded at my full down speed. The normal exe for Starcraft 2 always seems to max out around 2MB/s for me, but the Battle.net client had it going at 4.5-5.5MB/s

I don't think anything requires it, though it's nice to have them all in one spot and automatically updated. I don't own Warcraft 3 so I wouldn't know what it needs. I haven't tested it because they don't interest me anymore, but I think WoW and Diablo 3 should work fine installed and ran from the client.
